My top 5 favourite manga are (not necessarily in specific order): Chrono Crusade, Vampire Knight, Alice 19th, Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden and Bleach. Haha, as you can see I'm a Yuu Watase lover. Not to mention her male character designs are really something

~tite kubo~ love how stylized zombie powder and bleach are~kawashita mizuki- she wrote ichigo 100% nuff said ~Rumiko takahashi- maison ikkokuo, one pound gospel, and ranma, love the variety from comedy to drama to martial arts~Inoue Kazurou - love how funny his stuff was~Toume Kei - only read a bit of acony and hour of the mice, but his art is beyond supreme

Notable mentions are RUMIKO Takahashi for "Maison Ikkoku." Too bad that she does so much 'lather-rinse-repeat' for titles like "Inuyasha" and "Ranma 1/2."

Also, a notable for FUJISHIMA Kosuke for "Ah! My Goddess." However, he gets dings for the constant tweaking of character design (I haven't cared for the front-on character designs for years now), the boring stories he comes up with at times, and the zero progress on K1's and Belldandy's relationship.
